Augie is one of our resident Koalas. He was released onto our property from Australia Zoo Hospital in 2023, just the same year we arrived here. Our little paradise features 30 acres, of which 20 belong to Augie and his friends as prime Koala habitat. On the remaining acres we enjoy having a stunning little lake, just creating that zen feeling. Camping spots all have stunning views of the lake which invites you to take a stroll around following an easy walking track. Maybe you can spot Augie or be delighted by the beautiful local birds that share our space. Our Kangaroo family usually grazes until sunrise just on the open grass area near the camp spots. This space is perfect for kicking a ball and if you are interested in hearing and learning about Permaculture and/or Conservation, be sure to chat to your host Tanja. Children under 12 stay free. Please continue to add them to your booking (you won't be charged), so we can keep track of numbers. A delicious breaky can be enjoyed at the nearby Cooloola Strawberry farm (2 min by car) or maybe try a subtropical dinner at Sublime (5 min by car) a quirky QLD pub. Destinations to explore close by include Fraser Island, Tin Can Bay, and Rainbow Beach (between 35 and 45 min drive, 50 min to the Fraser Island Ferry), Lake Poona (30 min) nature trail, or visit Ponoma market (40 min) and Gympie’s cafes and shops (15 min) just around the corner.Welcome and Herzlich Wilkommen to our little paradise set on 30 beautiful acres.

Such a great place to camp! We had a beautiful swim in the dam, loved the peace and had everything we needed. Thank you so much.

Camping at Augies was great. Tanja boasts a lovely property with some private camp spots close enough to the toilet at the house. There is a beautiful dam which is a perfect spot for a morning coffee. Tanja is lovely and has two beautiful dogs, Chester and Hazel. Unfortunately we weren’t lucky enough to see the koalas.

Camping amongst the animals!

I had such a lovely stay at Augie's Paradise, it went too quickly! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and showed me around their beautiful property. It was so nice to sit back, relax and listen to all of the wildlife. I was lucky enough to see a koala at night and some kangaroos in the morning! Treat yourself to a swim in the dam or just sit by the water and enjoy the view. Be sure to check out Cooloola Berries while you're there, just a few minutes down the road.

Very idyllic site, hosts were fantastic, woke up to kangaroos around the dam, enjoyed breakfast watching the wildlife as it was so peaceful. Definitely will be back.
